Sustainable actions are closely linked to sustainable business. That’s because a company’s long-term success is dependent on it being able to create a business environment that takes the environmental, economic and social impact of its actions into account.

What do a smartphone, a CT scan and a high-performance tunnel drill all have in common? They all contain high-tech materials from H.C. Starck. We produce high-tech materials with unique chemical and physical properties ideally suited to our customers' specifications.

“There have already been steep increases in raw material prices during the second half of 2017, especially for tantalum, niobium, molybdenum and tungsten. With the ongoing strong demand for these materials in the marketplace, it becomes vital that we ensure a continuous material supply of products to our customers. The current product price levels require upward adjustments and forward-looking discussions across our entire customer-base,” says Andreas Mader, CEO of the Fabricated Products Division.

The Fabricated Products Group (FPR) is a wholly-owned division of H.C. Starck and a leading supplier of high performance products to a wide variety of industries. As experts in the manufacture and application of refractory metals, we utilize the outstanding properties of these materials to provide solutions to thermal, electrical, radiation, and chemical challenges.
